Title: I have for you a crumbing hope
Date Submitted: 1/6/2012

 
Poem: I have for you a crumbling hope
to your statement “you can’t go back to the hospital” –
why? “ because I can’t take it”
I have for you a crumbling hope
“you''re never going back to the hospital”
I have for you a crumbling hope.

I have a crumbling hope for you
to “awake to my noise, rapid thoughts
and dissociative paranoia”
Suffer at the temple of distraction,
vacancy and loneliness
and I have a crumbling hope for you.

I have a crumbling hope for me
that I never lose my gifts
yes, gifts
the same that drive the crumbling hope I have for you...
